i just ordered this comversion for my RC18T and for the price. i think its going to be one hell of a conversion to have. i can't wait to get it and have a Great looking and running RC18T.

if anyone has had this conversion done to there RC18 let me know how it is. but from i read its a great thing to have for the money.

once it gets here I'm going to do a step by step Project assembly for anyone who whats to do it themselves.

keep an eye on this one, it should be here by next week sometime.
 
thats a nice chassic what does your rc18 look like now
 
its pretty stock right now, but i got a Futaba 75Hz AM Rx on it, a tekin mini rage ESC and some factory team driveshaft and dogbones.

i will definetly get some before and after pics before i install the ExoTek RC18x conversion
 
sorry i havent gotten pics of the build cuz i was without a camera for a while but i just finished my Tek18X conversion on my RC18T. 4200Kv Mamba motor, Tekin rage ESC, 6 cell Ni-MH pack for now till i get my lipo.

i took it out for a spin to work out all the quarks and its super fast and handles extreamly well.

definetly worth $100+$20 for the motor and traded for the RC18 so its a great little conversion that i hope you all like.

EDIT:
sorry the pics are so dark, still working with a 1.8MP camera phone

I forgot to mention a special thanks to FLM_Savage for the donation saddle pack, and of course the trade for the RC18T

Thanks man!

without him the project would have been put to a stand still
 
hard to see but i think it looks great. it certainly beefs up the 18 series.

now get a lipo and let it SCREAM
 
about to take some new pics, just arrived some RC18T 1/10 scale TC wheel adaptors. that should make it looks a little better =]
 
here is the updated look to my Tek18X
